North Carolina General Liability Insurance

Protection from potentially ruinous lawsuits is vital

Unfortunately, vulnerability to lawsuits is a fact of doing business today, and that’s why a commercial general liability insurance policy is an essential business coverage in North Carolina, South Carolina, and every other state where you conduct your business. You have your hands full with running your day-to-day business, you shouldn’t have to worry about lawsuits and liability.

 

In North Carolina, general liability insurance helps to protect you from expenses related to claims and lawsuits arising from a wide array of alleged wrongs, such as:

  • an injury that a customer sustains while on your premises
  • physical injury or property damage that is related to a product you sell or a service you deliver
  • a claim of slander, libel, or copyright infringement

Commercial general liability insurance would pay the cost of claims and would also pay expenses related to defending yourself against the lawsuit, whether valid or not.

 

One notable exception would relate to injuries incurred by your employees. For work-related injuries, employees are covered by workers compensation, insurance that is mandated by law for North Carolina employers with three or more employees, or South Carolina employers with four or more employees.
